You can measure the volume of irregular solids by using water displacment which is meausured in mililiters (mL), and that, in turn, can be converted to cubic centimeters (cm3)

What units would you use to express the volume of an irregular solid such as a rock?
Volume is measured in any cubic unit, such as cubic meter, cubic decimeter (also known as liter) or cubic centimeter (also known as milliliter).
What is the unit used for measuring the volume of regular shaped solid object?
The unit for volume is the same, whether the shape is regular or irregular.
What are all the prefixes in the metric system mean?
Milli is 0.001 of the Base UnitCenti is 0.01 of the Base Unit Deci is 0.1 of the Base Unit BASE UNIT Deca is 10 of the Base Unit Hecto is 100 of the Base Unit Kilo is 1000 of the Base Unit
Why find mass of irregular solid before finding volume?
So that the irregular solid isn't wet when you place it on the balance, since that would make it appear to have a greater mass than it actually does.
What is the base metric base unit for length?
The base unit for length is the metre.
When is ml the perferred unit to use for volume?
When you need to find volume of an irregular solid or a liquid.
What units would you use to express the volume of an irregular solid such as a rock?
Volume is measured in any cubic unit, such as cubic meter, cubic decimeter (also known as liter) or cubic centimeter (also known as milliliter).
How do you distinguish between a regular solid and an irregular solid?
Regular solids have all sides the same, irregular solids have different sides.
What is the unit used for measuring the volume of regular shaped solid object?

What is a solid shape with five triangular faces and one irregular shape One vertex of each triangular face meet at one point called the apex?
A pyramid with an irregular pentagon base.
What is a irregular solid?
- has no dimensions
Which unit is best for expressing the volume of an irregular solid?
The fact that a solid is irregular has nothing to do with which unit you pick. It is the size of the object which determines this. If it is the size of a room you might use metres cubed, but if it would fit in your pocket then centimetres cubed will be more appropriate. It is the method of measuring the volume which is affected by the irregularity. You can't do it with measuring and geometry, so you have to use the displacement of water.
What are irregular solids?
you can be determine irregular solid by its shapes and if it is not measurable by the ruler .
What is the unit for irregular solid volume?
Irregular solid volume is still measured in cm3 etcTo Find the Volume of an irregular object you can,Measure out a proportional amount of water to the object you are finding the volume ofPut the object in the container of waterSee how much the water has risen byYou now have the volume!!(The difference between the new and old volumes of water is the volume
When is ml the preferred unit to use to for volume?
When you are measureing smaller units you would use mL
